Looks like Halle Berry is no longer single, in the official sense, as she stepped out on Saturday evening with new beau Olivier Martinez.

Attending the Carousel of Hope Ball in Beverly Hills, Berry looked better than ever in a red YSL dress while Martinez spiffed up in a black tux. The movie star mom has been quietly seeing Martinez for about a month, since meeting him on the set of their film upcoming "Dark Tide.'"

The Ministry spotted the pair roaming the lobby of the Beverly Hilton Hotel together, while Us Weekly reports the two were inseparable all evening, with Martinez often cooing into Berry's ear.

Berry split from model Gabriel Aubry, father of their daughter, Nahla, in April. The actress recently spoke about the breakup, saying the pair are committed to raising their daughter in harmony. "We were meant to bring this amazing little person into the world. And I think that’s why we came together.... We are a family until we are not here anymore,” she said.

Martinez dated Australian singer Kylie Minogue for five years before splitting in 2007.
